Let’s Toast to Sunday Dinner!

Sunday dinner was a big deal growing up. After church you eat a full meal. Main dish! Sides! Dessert! No nonsense. Even now my grandma will ask, “But who do you eat Sunday dinner with?!” And I usually tell her that my Sundays are normally full of brunch, bike rides, and rarely a big sit-down lunch with family in church clothes followed by dessert, coffee, and naps. This last Sunday was different though. I made a…

Sweet Potato Light Brioche Burger Buns

Yesterday I ate chocolate while making tortillas for dinner tacos. Mind you, I was out of everything so the tacos were just made with scrambled eggs, tomatoes, cheese, and hot sauce. And I ate them standing in my kitchen… I don’t know what the deal is. I’ve been so scattered lately! I’ve forgotten to eat meals (what?!). I’ve eaten granola bars for lunch and weird bratwurst for midnight dinner. Life is crazy and busy and…

Brown Butter Yeast Waffles

I haven’t gone running since I stepped on a dead mouse 2 weeks ago. I haven’t folded the laundry from last week. I just keep moving the pile around. I haven’t returned the library book I checked out months ago. But mostly, I haven’t used this little heart waffle maker since a Belgian waffle maker came into my heart, life, and kitchen. I’m a fool! I love all waffles. You see, I’m an equal opportunity…

Glazed Donuts

Donuts are a gateway food. I mean, every time someone brings donuts to work, or to a photo shoot, I keep it cool and (almost always) contain myself. It’s because I know that in my heart I just want to eat at least three of them. (A sprinkle one, a chocolate one, and a blueberry one.) So I finally made them! With a variety of glazes, to boot. So you better believe I ate three.…

Kaiser Rolls

Sometimes life-changing sandwiches happen. Sometimes they’re the Italian-est sandwich with multiple cured meats, roasted red peppers, garlic mustard, basil, goat cheese, and provolone. Sometimes they have corned beef AND potato salad on them. The filling has to be right and the bread has to be the right-est. Nobody wants to be bullied by sharp bread corners while trying to eat a sandwich, ya know? So if you’re looking for a tasty sandwich bun then I…

Pumpkin Sandwich Bread {revisited}

I find bread to be super comforting. So, let’s split a piece of warm bread right out of the oven ok? We can talk at the kitchen table. Let’s feel our feelings while snacking. Let’s turn off the heat and turn on the oven. The truth is, I’ll always want the biggest breadstick if out dining out. I’ll probably want to eat your corn bread right off your plate. I might make two pieces of…

Focaccia Cake + Spinach Dip

Sometimes I have the worst ideas. For example, every time I smell pizza, and love it, I have the fleeting thought: “I wish I had a pizza-scented candle.” I think we all know that’d be gross, and it’d result in constant stomach rumbling. Double trouble. However finagling foccacia bread into a layer-cake that can be lunch, is not a bad idea. Not that I have any problem with cake for lunch. So let’s eat cake that’s…

No-Knead Crusty White Bread

My favorite sandwich of all time is the cuban sandwich. I get it at Red Coat Tavern despite the fact that their burgers win popularity contests. I just can’t get enough of the melty cheese, the pickle, the mustard, the pork. So when I made bread this weekend, I had that tasty sandwich in mind. I let these loaves rise to the max. You see, I had to go to Trader Joe’s for sandwich fixin’s…

Soft Pretzels

Sometimes you just need a solid snack. The kind you eat for your willy nilly dinner. The kind you eat before cookie-dessert. The kind you eat while sitting on the floor in front of your coffee table. These are perfect for eating while watching movies with your lady friends. I guess they’d be good for football watching dudes, but I’m rarely around sporty, high-fiving fellas. But these turned out totally snack worthy. I even made…

Potato Refrigerator Dough {3 ways}

I’m having trouble committing to one outfit per day. I find myself switching from skirts to pants on my lunch break or from tall shoes to flats. I totally can’t commit to one nail polish color either. I generally have random fingers painted with glitter or golds. So I figured why commit to one method with this dough! You see, this stuff can be used for so many things like loaves of bread and rolls…
